Summary
The chapter discussed some popular configuration management tools from the perspective of bespoke applications. While we did not cover every aspect of the tool, we did cover basic concepts, usage patterns, and a hands-on example. Each tool discussed here requires a book by itself to learn about in depth, which is beyond the scope of this book. The concepts, patterns, and tools we discussed will guide us to approach end-to-end (E2E) automation of the whole application using Crossplane.
The next chapter will go through a hands-on journey to onboard a complete application and its dependency using Crossplane, Helm, and a few other tools.
